The Specialized Philatelic Wiki

Definitives from years 1947-1949 were printed in multiple types that appear in the same sheet of stamps. In case of small denominations (up to 60 pfennig) types are arranged by columns. In case of large denominations (84 and 90 pfennig and 1 mark) types are arranged by rows.

Designs that were printed in multiple denominations may or may not have the same types. Details are described in tables below representing each type.
